Saturday July 21, 2007 - Fish Report for High Hopes Charters – Capt. Lindy Yow- Richie and Brent Morrow of from Murphy N.C. braved the morning thunder storms in the Gulf to fish the artificial reefs. We started about 3 miles off Bonita Beach. In 30 minuets we had 7 Mangrove Snapper, 12 to 16 inches and a 14 inch Sheephead. The storms were building to the south, so we decided to move up to a 5 mile spot off Ft. Myers Beach. A storm was already building over Sanibel by the time we anchored. We picked up a Spanish mackerel and 3 more Mangrove Snapper, making our limit, before the storm drove us inshore to the May Reef area. After about an hour of catch and release Snook, Gag and Goliath Grouper, we ran for the dock with rain and lightning close behind.
